Hello,  
I have an old OrangePi PC laying in a drawer. I would like to use it to make a Squeezelite player (I already have a running server on a Pine A64), and I was wondering if it were still possible to download the last version of DietPi that supported this SBC.

I know I could go the Armbian way or the conversion way, but I want something simple and reliable as the most common problem with my previous Armbian installation was that it corrupted very easily and I want something almost bulletproof like DietPi is.

The board would only be used on the LAN (not exposed to the Internet) and exclusively to run squeezelite… therefore I see no problems/risks in running an older OS.

So, what was the last version to support the OrangePi PC and where could it be downloaded from (if still possible)?

Thanks

we don’t keep old images. Anyway have a look to [Index of /downloads/images](https://dietpi.com/downloads/images/) That’s all we have

Thanks. Unfortunately no images for the OrangePi PC are available.  
That’s a pity though 🙂

You could try the following:

1. Download the Debian image from [orangepi.org](http://orangepi.org) ([Orange Pi - Orangepi](http://www.orangepi.org/html/hardWare/computerAndMicrocontrollers/service-and-support/Orange-Pi-PC.html))
2. Upgrade it to Bullseye
3. Convert it to a DietPi system incl. upgrading to Bookworm

Upgrade to Bullseye: See our blog post (which is special related to a DietPi system and not to a standard Debian system): [DietPi - How to upgrade to "Bullseye" - DietPi blog](https://dietpi.com/blog/?p=811)  
From this blog post deducted, the upgrade should work with

```auto
apt update
apt -y install --reinstall librtmp1
sed -i 's/buster/bullseye/g' /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/*.list}
sed -i 's|bullseye/updates|bullseye-security|' /etc/apt/sources.list
[[-f '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/raspi.list']] && sed -i 's/ ui$//' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/raspi.list
rm -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pivpn-bullseye.list
rm -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pivpn-bullseye-repo.list
rm -f /etc/apt/preferences.d/pivpn-limit-bullseye

apt update

[[-f '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/sonarr.list']] && sed -i 's/bullseye/buster/' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sonarr.list

apt upgrade

apt full-upgrade

apt -y install fdisk systemd-timesyncd

reboot

```

Check with

```auto
cat /etc/os-release

```

Execute

```auto
apt autopurge

```

Converting to a DietPi system: Do the procedure given there: [Supported hardware - DietPi.com Docs](https://dietpi.com/docs/hardware/#make-your-own-distribution)

**A different option could work based on an Armbian system:**  
Use [https://armbian.hosthatch.com/archive/orangepipc/archive/Armbian\_23.8.1\_Orangepipc\_bookworm\_current\_6.1.47\_minimal.img.xz](https://armbian.hosthatch.com/archive/orangepipc/archive/Armbian_23.8.1_Orangepipc_bookworm_current_6.1.47_minimal.img.xz)  
and boot up your system.  
Then do the conversion to DietPi via this description: [Supported hardware - DietPi.com Docs](https://dietpi.com/docs/hardware/#make-your-own-distribution)

Right, the 2nd option should be clearly preferred, with a much cleaner image, which is on the final Debian version already 🙂 .

Sure, I’m aware of the armbian conversion method.  
Considering the very limited use I would do of the installation, I was just looking for a shortcut 🙂
